Gary Unmarried - Gary And His Half-Brother - 5/6/2009

This show had one of the most blatant product placement spots ever, with KFC Grilled Chicken getting a huge appearance in one scene and a callback spot in another. And since seeing the bags and buckets isn't enough, the characters had to go on about how good it was.

Of course, as timely as that is, the show also made references to seeing Danny Gans in Vegas. Oops...Well, they did put up a memorial at the end of the episode for him at least.

The show is not horrible, but not that good either. But the KFC infomercial and Danny Gans references couldn't go without some kind of comment.

Yeah, as soon as they walked in with that chicken I was laughing at the product placement. Is this their answer to everyone DVRing/TIVOing their shows and fast forwarding thru the commercials? I wonder if we'll be seeing more of it.

And then when they got to Danny Gans - ooh, ah, yeow what unfortunate timing.

Sucks they didn't get to go see Danny Gans before he passed. I thought the KFC thing was funny.

At least they made it so obvious that they decided to make it funny.

"Why didn't you call me?"
"It's just chicken"
